In MemOriau.

MRS. LOUISA DUFFIlLD OF SOUTH OTTAWA.
Far from these Earthly shadows.
Up to the realms Of day.
She sought the Lords Dominion,
And her soul was borne away.
II seemed such little ways to her,
Across the river Of Death.
For she loved her Saviour 80 DEAR
And breathed his name with her dying breath.
She has left void in her household.
That only mother can fill,
Her voice was ever blessing.
But alas, that dear voice is still.
Her life was living volume,
Whose pages were prayers Of God;
But the cover is closed forever,
And she sleeps in peace beneath the sod.
Will You meet me- dear sister,
When your life on earth DER?
May be there to greet you.
As you cross to the peaceful shore?
May meet you too. my aged mother dear,
On the shores Of golden hue?
And, oh, dear husband and children
Let me, pray, be the first to welcome you.
